These past few days, Qin Sihan has probably been lying around sick.
I finally had a bit of peace and quiet.
Then, one phone call woke me up early in the morning.
Still groggy, I answered, and a middle-aged woman's furious voice pierced my eardrums:
" Gu Tingting, look at the mess you've created!
Xiao Han said he came back from a business trip, but you wouldn't let him in?
Xiao Han had no choice but to come back to us, and now our whole family is sick!"
I frowned and glanced at the caller ID.
It was Qin Sihan's mother, Cai Jinhua.
I hadn't interacted much with Cai Jinhua.
Mainly because during the only time I met his parents, when Qin Sihan brought me to see them, it was quite an unpleasant experience.
So afterward, I avoided meeting his mother altogether.
That time, I brought a lot of expensive gifts.
I thought that since it was my first time meeting his family, I should make an effort.
But…
His mother's mindset was somewhat problematic.
She looked at those gifts and said expressionlessly:
"Why bring such expensive things? It's all just superficial."
"Anyway, you're spending Xiao Han's money, so you don't need to buy anything next time. Just save some money for my retirement in the future."
I was stunned at that moment.
What kind of sarcastic remark was that?
At that time, Qin Sihan still somewhat defended me.
He immediately explained, "Mom, those things were all personally chosen and bought by Tingting. It has nothing to do with me; it's all Tingting's intention."
As soon as his mother heard her son defending me like that, her expression changed for the worse.
She pretended to apologize.
As a result, that day, I was actually asked to go into the kitchen and cook for four or five of them.
Not only did his mother not show me any kindness throughout, but after dinner, she directly ordered me to wash the dishes.
She even said, "Hey Tingting, according to the customs from our hometown, since you haven't officially entered the family yet, you're still an outsider and shouldn't be sitting at the table to eat."
What does that mean?
Is she pointing this out to me?
It felt like I wasn't a guest at all but rather a maid.
Qin Sihan kept trying to comfort me:
"Tingting, I'm sorry. Please bear with it. My mom isn't targeting you; it's just how the customs are in her hometown...
"Please bear with it for my sake, okay?"
I can't believe this nonsense.
The dynasty has fallen early in the morning; where did these outdated customs come from?
I simply didn't serve them and walked away.
Since then, I have never visited Qin Sihan's family again.
Cai Jinhua always thought her son starting a company was a big deal, with a bright future ahead.
She believed that being with Qin Sihan was me trying to climb the social ladder.
So when she called me, her tone carried a ridiculous sense of superiority.
And now, on the phone, Cai Jinhua's voice continued:
" Gu Tingting, because of you, our whole family is sick. You need to come over and cook for us right now."
I was almost laughing out of anger.
I wasn't polite at all:
"Aunt Cai, I have already broken up with your son. Didn't you know?"
In the past, I would politely call her Aunt.
This time, I think my calling her "Aunt Cai" left her stunned.
There was silence on her end for a few seconds before she finally reacted.
She immediately exploded:
"What did you say? Break up?
"My son has been running his company for three years and hasn't given me a single cent!"
"He must have spent all that money on you. You say break up and just break up?
" Gu Tingting, you need to have some conscience!
"You’re just a small real estate salesperson. If it weren't for my son supporting you these past three years, what would you be eating?
"You ungrateful wretch, you... cough cough cough!"
Before she could finish her tirade, she started coughing as if she were about to choke.
I frowned at her words.
Once she calmed down a bit, I sarcastically replied:
"Auntie, your understanding of your son might be a bit off.
"Have you ever considered that he didn’t give you money because his little company has been losing money and hasn’t made a profit?"
Cai Jinhua exploded at this:
"Pah pah pah, you jinx!
"You heartless woman, how dare you curse my son! He must be blind to have chosen you!
" Gu Tingting, let me tell you, you've spent so much of my son's money, and now that it's all gone, you think it’s easy to just walk away?
"Now, either you come over and serve us obediently, or you return all the money Xiao Han has spent on you over the years!
"Otherwise, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"
I couldn't be bothered to argue with her anymore.
I directly sent over the photos of Meng Xiaoya and Qin Sihan from their trip together:
"Take a look for yourself; this woman is Qin Sihan's mistress."
"Her name is Meng Xiaoya, and she is eagerly waiting to be your daughter-in-law!
"Since you want to be served so much, why not just find her?
"Let her cook for you!"
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
Qin Sihan supporting me?
How ridiculous.
I recalled the three years I spent with Qin Sihan—
Most of Qin Sihan's living expenses were covered by me.
The money he spent was far more than the one million loan written on paper.
Just on his belt, watch, and clothes alone, I had already spent hundreds of thousands.
Qin Sihan often wore a frown and sighed:
"Tingting, do you know? Starting a business is so hard.
"Even though I have a company, when I go out to meet people, I don't even have a decent suit."
That was during the first year of my relationship with Qin Sihan, which was considered our romantic phase.
Since he asked for it, I waved my hand dismissively:
"What’s the big deal? Just buy it."
And so—
His watch was replaced with a Rolex Submariner.
His suit had changed from a few hundred yuan from Taobao to a high-end Italian brand.
That amount of money was just my pocket money for a month.
But Qin Sihan had never seen so much money.
He accepted and used everything I bought.
Finally, he dressed himself up like a young CEO.
However, he couldn't help but tentatively ask me:
"Tingting, these brands are quite expensive, right? Where did you get so much money?"
He always thought I was just a small employee at a real estate company.
Someone who had to beg everywhere and relied on selling houses to make a living.
I had no choice but to pretend to be poor.
Firstly, it was to cater to his noble self-esteem.
Secondly, it was to follow my parents' teachings.
They always said that daughters should be raised in wealth, but before getting married, I shouldn't show off my wealth to the outside world.
This way, I would see more of human nature.
And it would help me stay grounded.
So, in response to Qin Sihan's question, I casually fabricated:
"I perform well and have sold several more houses than others; I'm the quarterly sales champion.
"My bonus doubled, and my commission came in, plus I had saved some before."
Qin Sihan believed it.
He held me tightly, feeling heartbroken and said with immense guilt:
"Tingting, I know it's not easy for you to accompany clients to view properties under the sun and wind to make money.
"I swear, all the kindness you've shown me, I will repay you double in the future."
And now?
I looked at Qin Sihan's indifferent face on the screen.
I thought about him and Meng Xiaoya lying on the same bed in hotels across the country.
The more I thought about it, the more nauseous I felt.
A scumbag's words are nothing but lies.
It's ridiculous that Qin Sihan even said he would repay me double.
It turns out he can only offer me empty promises.
From now on, I won't be eating his promises anymore.
If Meng Xiaoya likes to eat promises, let her have her fill.
